SEO is such a rapidly changing field that it’s crucial to stay up-to-date as a marketing manager or CMO. At the same time, there is so much noise and unless you eat and breathe SEO like we do, it’s hard to know who to trust and where to get the latest information.

Even the many lists of “top SEO experts” aren’t helpful as they often include dozens of names. Who has time to follow so many people and get work done?

You don’t and so we’re here to help. Below, you can find the SEO influencers and blogs we trust and follow here at Flow agency‘s (formerly: Flow SEO).

This is in no way an exhaustive list. It is, instead, a selection of our favorite resources for up-to-date information on SEO.
